12 And the Levites H3881 shall lay H5564 their hands H3027 CFD-3MP upon H5921 PREP the heads H7218 NMS of the bullocks H6499 : and thou shalt offer H6213 the one H259 for a sin offering H2403 CFS , and the other H259 for a burnt offering H5930 , unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , to make an atonement H3722 for H5921 PREP the Levites H3881 .
